Hey everyone, so I recently new to the Madison area. My job brought me out here from California and looks like I'll be out here until September. Thought I would say hi and see if anyone is somewhat near the area. I was hoping to get some bumpers, rock skids and fender flares while I was out here but don't currently have a place to put them on as I'm staying at a hotel. So was hoping to maybe find someone who's got a garage that's up to the challenge (I got my tool box). I'll provide the beers n pizza and some $$ for your time. Let me know, wouldn't be soon just saying hi and asking.
I'd prefer to do it in warmer weather since I froze my *** off doing it last weekend inside of a garage lol.

It was easy. Broke one bolt while taking off the steering box so that slowed me down but other than that it went real smooth. Everything lined up perfect.

Okay so I broke down and got new tires. Well the mechanic tire installer said my ball joints and track bar were needing replacement. I am not going to pay over $1000 for someone else to do this.
Any recommendations for parts? What to go with? No I don't need rock crawling parts just need some as this is a daily driver mainly.
Also to those here nearby, want to help?

Not to be "that guy" or anything, but you'll probably get a LOT better (more) responses if you post this in the tech section instead of the WI thread, lol. The guys that read this thread are rather limited in number.

I do plan on posting this in the tech section as well when I am at a computer and not just mobile like I am now. That way I can search better and possibly find the answers without another thread.
Thank you though for pointing that out to me.
As far as the responses go, I Have been getting just fine responses here.

4WD.com was better than Amazon as they were only $12 more than rock auto.
The parts are ordered now for some warmer weather when the parts get here and I am set.

I might be hitting the jy this weekend if it isn't too cold out. If anyone needs something or wants me to check for something shoot me a pm with how much you're willing to pay for the item or what item you want me to check for. Just don't flake out if I find the item because I'll be fronting the cash for it and I don't feel like taking losses on crap I possibly don't need. In other words, don't say you'll pay $x for an item then not pay me back for it.
